How to modify the following code for remote connection to the stardog database or knowledge graph. Are the username and password for the remote connection the same as those when creating the stardog cloud account?

date=$(date +'%d\_%m\_%Y')  
echo "Available Hosts (cadets, theia, trace, optc)"  
read -p "Enter the host name:" dataset  
read -p "Enter the stardog dataset name:" stardogDataseet  
read -p "Enter the stardog username:" stardogUserName  
read -p "Enter the stardog password:" stardogpassword  
read -p "Enter the turtle provenance graphs folder path:" PG\_path  
mkdir -p logs/${dataset}/  
load\_graph () {  
graph\_name=$1  
echo ${graph\_name}.ttl \>\> logs/${dataset}/loading\_${dataset}_provenance\_graph_${date}.txt  
stardog data add ${stardogDataseet} ${PG\_path}/${graph\_name}.ttl -u ${stardogUserName} -p ${stardogpassword} \>\> logs/${dataset}/loading\_${dataset}_provenance\_graph_${date}.txt

}
